प्रश्न
A train moving with a velocity of 20 ms−1 is brought to rest by applying brakes in 5 s. Calculate the retardation.

उत्तर
Given:
-
Initial velocity, u = 20 m/s
-
Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (since train comes to rest)
-
Time, t = 5 s
0 = 20 + a × 5
0 = 20 + 5a
5a = −20
a = −4m/s2
Retardation = 4 m/s2
